DLR at the Hannover Messe
Focus on quantum technologies
Under the motto 'On the edge of the possible - quantum technologies made by DLR' and to mark the International Year of the Quantum, the German Aerospace Center (DLR) is focusing on projects and missions at the Hannover Messe that show how quantum technologies are opening up new horizons for research, industry and business.
Exhibits from this area explain, for example, the development of future-oriented quantum sensors and satellite-based quantum encryption for secure communication. There is also work in the field of compact laser-optical clocks for satellite navigation systems as well as miniaturized and space-compatible quantum memories for a satellite-based quantum network.
DLR researches and develops quantum technologies at over a dozen institutes across Germany, benefiting from its expertise in the research fields of aeronautics, space, energy, transportation and security. DLR's goal is to harness quantum mechanical phenomena, develop technologies, identify users and support commercialization. A large number of exhibits explain and illustrate this scientific work.
The DLR Quantum Computing Initiative (DLR QCI) will also be present at the central DLR stand. It is building a strong ecosystem in the field of quantum computing to accelerate technology transfer between industry and research, support collaborations and create an attractive environment for skilled workers: In around 80 projects, quantum computers, necessary technologies and use cases are being developed together with start-ups and industry in order to bring quantum computing into application.
On Space Day at Hannover Messe on April 2, 2025, DLR will be exploring the question "Quantum - what is it actually?" in a live stage show at the Tech Transfer Conference Stage (Hall 2, Stand B02) from 9:45 am. In short talks, interviews and panel discussions, DLR experts and German ESA astronaut Gerhard Thiele will provide an overview of where quantum technologies can help in concrete terms: for example, in high-tech sensors, tap-proof communication, high-precision navigation, in space travel or in new types of computers with unprecedented capabilities.
